Clinton lied!!!
"Former US president Bill Clinton said in October during a visit to Portugal that he was convinced Iraq had weapons of mass destruction up until the fall of Saddam Hussein, Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Manuel Durao Barroso said."
Of course Clinton didn't lie (at least about this), and neither did the Bush Administration. When all is said and done, it may very well be the case that even Saddam Hussein believed that Iraq had WMD in violation of UN Security Council resolutions. They may not, in fact, exist, owing only to the incompetence of his government, but that doesn't mean that anybody lied about them.
And in any case, what happened to the anthrax?
The risk that Iraq had WMD was but one of several good reasons to invade Iraq. (Hey, the site isn't called TigerHawk because of its dovish inclinations!)
